Book This Tour
Scotland is a treasure trove of rolling landscapes of green hills and art, music and history. The locals are friendly with rich traditions making their long history colorful if nothing else. This tour is set up to give you a sample of both the highlands and even some of the isolated offshore islands where time just seems to have little meaning. And castles! Lots of castles. It seems that no builder had time for much else. This is Scotland – where legends live long, and storybook pages come to life. Prepare to experience the people and their unique culture. Our goal is making sure each of our guests come away from the experience with a serious appreciation of such a fascinating place.
There will be a good number of quaint lakeside villages of stone cottages and bright flowers along with several museums and other sites along the way. Even a stop at the River Clyde. The highlands are sprinkled with beautiful lakes known as Lochs. This is sheep country and this time of year everywhere you look is green. It’s full summer here and the display of the countryside is in full display. We will explore Loch Lomond, Loch Melfort and Loch Ness. Now it is our understanding that if you are the lucky one to spot the local sea-monster (Nessie), just keep it to yourself. They don’t want to spoil the experience with the next visitor. The locals have stories going back centuries about supposed contacts with Nessie.
With all that green around, of course we are going to see sheep. And where a Scotsman has sheep, you will see his sheep dog. A demonstration of how they train the dogs to work from either hand signals or whistles. The really great dogs don’t need any signals as they seem to know more about what to do with the sheep than its owner. You might even get to try your hand at giving some of the signals.
Some of the castles are still in use, as is this one with a very dubious entrance roadway build eons ago. Many are in good enough condition to tour and we will have an opportunity to meet the landlords and learn how they keep these ancient buildings in working order.
No trip to learn about this wonderful country would be complete without a piping demonstration and for that matter, a lesson in how to make music with one. To fully appreciate all the stops and tour elements of our trip to Scotland requires a good read of our brochure. Please get the brochure!
